Mini Cooper paint correction/wheels off detail
Mini in for some correction work and full interior exterior detail plus wheel removal
Before prep, some etching on the hood, dried out trim etc.
Couple readings, and no I was not able to make a 3D model of this on my computer sent via bluetooth and then organize each individual reading on Excel spreadsheet .... but somehow I made out okay when polishing :hippie:
Some before shots of correction. Ended up with a 4 step process from start to finish, rotary around 2100 for compounding and finishing down around 1200.
Yes I know the yellow tape on red paint looks like a Ronald McDonald mobile :help:
Few after shots
On the smaller areas with lots of edges I switched to the DA from the rotary so I could work with 1 hand clean
Wiped the car with alc/h20 and pulled it outside to check for correction before moving onto to the rest of the car
Always use the hood as my gauge for the rest of the correction, get that as good as possible and set the tune for the rest of the job.
Back inside for the rest

One of my Porsche customers stopped by for an estimate, silver car :violin:
Front bumper
Removed wheels for further cleaning and protection, cleaned up the undercarriage a little more followed by dressing
2 claybars did not make it home after the wheels :goodn:
Little tarminator helped loosen up some tar, adhesives etc.
Rejex x2
Couple after shots
Some opti-seal on the interior plastics

Black stripes unfortunately cannot be corrected at the same level as the paint, annoyance for sure
